I think they would call themselves australian, if the media didnt single them out.
Its wrong to be discriminatory regardless of the situation. You know as result of this discrimination, it has most likely the probable reason ffor the cronulla riots. BY using "middle easterm", "arab" etc, ur generalising and thus proclaiming the entire community is like that, which is completely wrong.
Either the media should abolish this, or be equal. Its not majority of the population, its way to discriminate. ITs not necessary to say "middle eastern", if they are australian. Australian are australians regardless of colour or appearance.
